Castello della Sala Bramìto della Sala 2022
Marchese Antinori's Bramìto della Sala is produced from the vineyards surrounding the medieval castle at Castello della Sala. The one grape variety that thrives in this terroir is Chardonnay. The vineyards are on soils rich in fossil deposits with veins of clay that give the wine minerality and elegance. Grapes are taken to the cellar, de-stemmed and gently crushed. After clarification in stainless steel vats, the different lots were handled separately; some went into oak and some into stainless steel vats where alcoholic fermentation occurred; only the oak fermented lots underwent malolactic fermentation. The wine was then blended and bottled. Bramìto della Sala has a bright, intense straw yellow colour. Notes of white flower blossoms and hints of chamomile dominate the nose accompanied by notes of golden apples and hints of vanilla. The palate is fresh, extremely pleasant and fully expresses Chardonnay’s varietal character.
